The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. PHOENIX -- Coming off a long road trip backloaded with long games, the Arizona Diamondbacks needed a few quality starts from their pitchers to give the bullpen a break. Tyler Skaggs got the Diamondbacks off to a good start in the series opener against Colorado and Wade Miley followed it up with another strong performance -- with his arm and his bat. Miley pitched eight effective innings and had a three-run double in the second inning, helping Arizona jump on Colorado early in an 11-1 rout of the Rockies on Saturday night. "He was really efficient with his pitches, his pitch count," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "It was just what we needed to give the bullpen a rest." The Diamondbacks returned to the desert on Friday after a 10-game road trip that ended with a long series against the Mets that included rain delays and two games that each lasted at least 15 innings. Arizona beat Colorado 5-0 in the opener behind Skaggs eight innings and jumped on Drew Pomeranz (0-2) for five runs in the first three innings in the second game. Miley got it started with his third career double in the second inning and Paul Goldschmidt, named to the NL All-Star team earlier in the day, hit his 21st homer in the third. The Diamondbacks poured it on after that, adding a three-run homer by Miguel Montero and a two-run shot by Martin Prado. Cody Ross tied a team record and set a career high with five of Arizonas 12 hits and scored three runs. That gave Miley (5-7) the leeway to work around the edges of the plate, giving the Rockies few good pitches while sending the NL West-leading Diamondbacks to their fourth straight win. "The bullpen got used a lot in New York with all those (extra-inning) games and I was just trying to extend it, just go as long as you can to give them a break," Miley said. "It was good." The Rockies had four baserunners in the series opener and were only marginally better against Miley. All-Star Carlos Gonzalez hit his NL-leading 24th homer and had four hits after missing Fridays game with a sore back, but the rest of the Rockies went 2 for 26, including 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position. "I dont know what the numbers are but it seemed like he went strike one with just about every batter," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It is a lot easier to pitch that way. When you are 0-1 there are a lot more options that way and that is what he did." Miley pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings his last outing, but didnt get the decision in a game that went 13 innings. Staked with a big early lead against the Rockies, the left-hander was effective with runners on, helped by a pair of double plays in the first four innings. Miley stretched his scoreless sttreak to a career-high 13 2-3 innings -- 16 overall by Arizona pitchers -- before Gonzalez led off the seventh with a long homer to centre. Camo Ravens Jerseys. The left-hander pleaded with Gibson to stay in for a chance at his first career complete game, but was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. Miley allowed a run on five hits and struck out five to win for the first time in five starts. "It was going good," Miley said. "I was locating the fastball early to get ahead and kind of expand the plate a little bit. I was able to get some guys to make some awkward swings and put in play, and we made plays." Pomeranz, who made 22 starts for Colorado last season, spent most of this year at Triple-A Colorado Springs before being called up to pitch against San Francisco on Sunday. He allowed four runs on seven hits -- two of those homers -- in 4 1-3 innings of a 5-2 loss. The left-hander laboured from the start, needing 10 pitches to get leadoff hitter A.J. Pollock and going over 40 the first two innings. He walked two to load the bases in the second inning and Miley followed with his fourth hit of the season, a three-run double slapped into the corner in left. Pomeranz opened the third inning with a walk, then left a letter-high fastball up to Goldschmidt, who hit it into the second deck in left for a two-run homer that put Arizona up 5-0 and increased his NL-leading RBI total to 73. Pomeranz worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning after walking Goldschmidt, but was lifted after that. He allowed five runs on five hits and walked five. "It is frustrating, but I have to put my team in a better spot to win the game," said Pomeranz, who has lost seven of his past eight decisions, dating to last season. "You cant do that being down 5-0 after three innings." Arizona didnt let up after that, either. Prado hit his eighth homer in the seventh inning and Montero sneaked his sixth just over the wall in right in the eighth to make it 11-1. Notes: Ross became the 16th player in Arizona history with five hits, the first since Aaron Hill on Sept. 4, 2012, against San Francisco. ... The Diamondbacks had an extra-base hit in their 71st straight game, matching the sixth-longest streak in team history (2006). ... Colorados Michael Cuddyer had a double in the seventh inning to extend his road hitting streak to 15 games. ... Arizona LHP Patrick Corbin will make his seventh attempt at reaching 10 wins against the Rockies on Sunday. The All-Star is 0-1 over his last six starts. ... RHP Roy Oswalt will try for his first win since signing with the Rockies in May in the series finale against Arizona. Hes made three starts since being called up, going 0-3 with a 7.88 ERA.

With his back against the wall, Joseph Mango Marquez managed to pick up his third win at the Big House 6. It wasnt always smooth sailing; things looked nerve-racking for Mango as he narrowly squeezed into top-8 after a close five-game set with Ryan The Moon Coker-Welch.Mango chuckled, I gambled hard on the set and if he went for a forward-smash instead of extending the combo, I would have lost.Along the journey, some of the other gods of Melee werent as fortunate.

Mango took a game, but Armada ended up taking the first set to reset the bracket.In the second and final set, Mango started strong, taking Game 1 on Fountain of Dreams. Armada struck back by taking the next two games. With everything to lose, Mango recollected himself by slowing down the tempo and forcing Armada to make the first move. The plan worked, with the momentum shifting in Mangos favor as he took Game 4 to even the set count to 2-2. With one final counterpick, Armada chose Dreamland, a large stage with plenty of room to roam around.The extra space ended up working in Mangos favor as he dictated the pacing of the match, utilizing lasers and extra space to force Armada to overextend. Mango took an early lead and never relented to take the final game and his third Big House singles trophy. After winning, Mango said, It was sloppy, but well take it. I kept telling myself, If I do what I need to do. Then, [Armada] cant do anything.

TORONTO -- UFCs featherweight division has been a confusing place in 2016. Max Holloway might be the one to give it some clarity.Holloway (17-3) claimed UFCs interim featherweight championship Saturday by defeating former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis via TKO in the third round. The 145-pound bout headlined UFC 206 inside Air Canada Centre.Referee Yves Lavigne stopped the fight with 10 seconds remaining in the third round. Pettis (19-6) had fallen to a crouched position and could only cover up from punches.The win sets up a future meeting between Holloway and official titleholder Jose Aldo.We couldnt fight Aldo, so I started calling it Jose Waldo, hashtag Wheres Jose Waldo? Holloway said. [UFC 208] Brooklyn in February, lets get the f---ing real [title]! This is my ticket to Jose Waldo. You tell me when you find him.Holloway, out of Waianae, Hawaii, is now on a 10-fight win streak, third longest in UFC. He has not suffered a loss since a unanimous decision defeat to Conor McGregor in August 2013.It was actually McGregor who held up the weight class this year. The Irish star won the title last December by knocking out Aldo in 13 seconds and has since fought three times without making a defense. UFC was finally forced to take the belt from McGregor last month.Although McGregor (21-3) will likely point out that the next title fight will feature two men he beat, the 25-year-old Holloway has been nothing short of brilliant since the McGregor loss.Holloway piccked his shots Saturday, showing a clear respect for Pettis knockout ability. Womens Steelers Jerseys. Holloway played with the range in the first two rounds and eventually started to find timing on his right hand.He opened a cut over Pettis right eye in the second round and stuffed the Milwaukee natives attempts to get the fight to the ground.

Another kick landed to the body moments later, and Pettis appeared to be done.Pettis (19-6) would not have won the interim title even if he won the bout. The 29-year-old missed weight by three pounds Friday and said he will move back up to the 155-pound division.The first punch I threw, my right hand hit him on the top of the head and broke, Pettis said. Max Holloway is a beast. He stood with me and got the belt.Its too much to make the cut. They literally had to pull me out of the sauna. I have to go up. I cant make 145. The weight cut is too hard.Once considered one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Pettis has now lost four of his past five fights.Aldo (26-2) won the interim title by defeating Frankie Edgar at UFC 200 in July. Aldo was promoted to the official champion when McGregor was stripped.

                                      Australian basketball star Andrew Bogut says hes a players first guy but admits AFL clubs are being held to ransom under the codes current trade period format. Eric Dier England Shirt .Dallas Mavericks Bogut, an Essendon fan, found himself at the mercy of the NBAs free agency system, where players can be traded without consent, after Kevin Durant nominated Golden State Warriors as his preferred destination at the end of last season.Durants arrival in San Francisco meant the Warriors had to clear up salary cap space and Bogut soon found himself in the blue and white of the Mavericks.Look its tough, Im in an industry where you dont get any choice but Im in an industry where you get paid a lot of money to play sport, Bogut told SEN Breakfast.Look it is disappointing when you get traded, and youve got to kind of and pack a bag and just go to the next city. But at the same time, whats happening in the AFL is not fair to the clubs either, where [players] are trying to pick and choose where they want to go on demand and be traded somewhere. Thats not fair either.In the recent AFL Trade Period, there were cases where players got their wish and were traded to their desired destinations, including Jordan Lewis [Melbourne] and Jaegar OMeara [Hawthorn], while Carlton and Adelaide were unable to find common ground for Bryce Gibbs to return home to South Australia.Asked whether the AFL would eventually have to follow the NBAs lead and allow clubs to trade players without their consent, thus wrestling back some of the power, Bogut said: I think its going to have to be a discussion...Im a big player first guy, like Id always put players first.But thats one instance where I agree with clubs that theyre kind of being held out on a ransom where its like hey, I want to go to Gold Coast...but they might not have anyone that the club wants or might not want to pay for anyone on the Gold Coast; they dont have any players that we find suitable for our list.So all of a sudden theyre [clubs] rail-roaded into making a deal they dont want to make just because a players not happy.So look I think in the grand scheme of things, I think its eventually going to have to be looked at.

"It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Max Scherzer is getting as good at deflecting attention from his accomplishments as he is at shutting down opposing hitters. The Detroit right-hander became the first pitcher to win 12 consecutive decisions to begin a season in 27 years on Friday night, riding a pair of home runs by Miguel Cabrera and a mammoth shot by Prince Fielder to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-3 and take over the major league lead in victories. "Its really nice to be 12-0," said Scherzer, who allowed three runs, four hits, walked one and struck out nine in seven innings to become the first pitcher in Tigers history to win his first 12 decisions. "Im pitching well, but the reason Im 12-0 is because of my offence," he added. "You got to see firsthand today the best player in the game hitting two home runs on three pitches and going 4 for 4. And Prince hits a bomb. Its the offence that set me up." Scherzer became the first in the majors to begin a season with at least 12 straight victories since Roger Clemens did it on the way to starting 14-0 with the Boston Red Sox in 1986. Hes 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA and 18 strikeouts in two wins over Tampa Bay this season. "Hes just good. Hes got a little of that whiffle ball look from the side, where the ball is jumping all over the place," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Then he gets the velocity when he wants it. Theres a reason why hes 12-0. Hes very good." It helps to have Cabrera in the middle of the lineup. The 2012 AL MVP went 4 for 4 and drove in three runs, boosting his major league-leading batting average to .377 with 24 homers and 81 RBIs, also tops in the big leagues. He hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Alex Colome (1-1) to extend his hitting streak to a season-best 13 games, then added a solo shot off the rookie for a 3-0 lead in the fourth. Cabrera also singled in the sixth, giving him three of Detroits four hits off Colome. Fielder doubled in the fourth, tagged up and hustled to third base on Victor Martinezs fly ball to right and eventually scored on a wild pitch to make it 4-0 before the Rays gradually climbed back into the game. Ben Zobrist and Wil Myers hit solo homers for Tampa Bay. Luke Scotts RBI double trimmed Scherzers lead to 4-3 in the seventh. "All I thought about is winning today. My personal record is more a reflection of the team," Scherzer said. "I dont get caught up in the win-loss record because its kind of fluky. Yesterday Doug (Fister) goes seven innings, one run and gets a no-decision. I got six and (allow) three and get a win, so thats why its a fluky stat." Cabrera doubled off Kyle Farnsworth in the eighth for his fourth hit. Fielder gave the Detroit bullpen some breathing room when he followed with his first homer since June 4, a towering two-run shot off Cesar Ramos that struck one of the catwalks that support the roof at Tropicana Field. Youth Vikings Jerseys. The Rays estimated Cabreras home runs travelled 388 and 432 feet. Fielders drive, which bounced off the catwalk and rolled back toward the infield, was estimated at 414 feet. Cabrera, who leads the majors in hits and RBIs and is second behind Baltimores Chris Davis in home runs, was asked how far Fielders homer might have gone if it hadnt hit something. "Miami," Cabrera said. "It was very far. It was impressive." Al Alburquerque and Drew Smyly worked a scoreless eighth for the Tigers. Joaquin Benoit finished a combined five-hitter, earning his fifth save. Scherzer, whos fanned at least six in each of his 16 starts this season, retired 11 in a row before Zobrists first-pitch drive to right with two outs in the fourth. The closest the Rays had come to getting a hit up until then was Evan Longorias second-inning grounder over the mound that Omar Infante ran down behind second base before making an off-balance throw to first for the out. Longoria was removed from the game following that inning. The Rays later announced he irritated plantar fasciitis in his right foot, which has bothered him for the past month. Maddon said Longoria, who has 17 homers and 47 RBIs, will not play Saturday and is doubtful for Sunday. "A little bit tender in the foot area. We have to wait for it to calm down (Saturday) to make a better evaluation," the Tampa Bay manager said. "Of course Im concerned, but I dont know the level yet until I get more information." Notes: Reigning AL Cy Young winner David Price will rejoin Tampa Bays rotation Tuesday night at Houston. The left-hander went on the disabled list for the first time in his career May 16 with a strained left triceps. He made two minor league rehab starts with Class A Charlotte and said he felt good after a bullpen session Friday. The Rays have gone 21-20 while hes been on the DL. ... The Tigers recalled reliever Bruce Rondon from Triple-A Toledo. To make room on the roster, reliever Evan Reed was optioned to Toledo. Detroit manager Jim Leyland said Rondon was not "brought back as a closer." Instead, Benoit will get most save opportunities. ... Rays RHP Alex Cobb, who was struck in the right ear by a ball hit by Kansas Citys Eric Hosmer on June 15, played catch during batting practice. ... Tigers RHP Anibal Sanchez (right shoulder strain) will make a 60-pitch rehab start Monday, probably for Class A Lakeland . . . Leyland plans to rest RF Torii Hunter on Saturday night ...

Its more than three months since the Australian womens rugby sevens side claimed the first ever Olympic sevens gold medal, but the title Olympic Champion remains as surreal as ever for Charlotte Caslick. Jets Womens Jerseys .With her exciting style of play and trademark braids, Caslick quickly became the face of sevens at the 2016 Rio Games. Hammering in defence and sharp in attack, the scrum-half dominated the competition, scoring seven tries across the three days of play, only missing in two games.Despite her sides achievements, Caslick continues to be amazed when the public recognizes her -- especially out of uniform.Yeah, [I am still walking on air] a little bit, Caslick told ESPN. Its a massive privilege to be able to classify us in that group of elite athletes - its obviously the pinnacle of all sports. Its always quite surreal telling someone youre an Olympic gold medallist.Sometimes [I dont have to tell people who I am], but I guess we look kind of different from when we play footy to what we do when were just walking around the streets. Some people definitely do recognise us, which is a bit surreal still as well; we never really expect people to know what we did or anything. But its always awesome when little kids come over and ask for autographs and stuff like that.The 21-year-old is no stranger to success. A national 800m champion in primary school and Australian touch football representative at both age-grade and open levels, she made the move to sevens at 18 and quickly caught the eye of coaches.Caslick won a gold medal at the Australian Youth Games festival in her debut season and was selected in the 2013 Australian World Cup team that competed in Russia. Just over a year later, she was named in World Rugbys 2014-15 Team of the Season and was nominated for the 2015 World Sevens Player of the Year.Its been a rapid rise for the Queenslander.It is crazy, it definitely happened really quickly, Caslick said. When we first went into it, Rio was our goal and a gold medal was our goal, so for the last four years weve been dreaming about that. But in comparison to other sports it did all happen very quickly.Securing their first ever World Rugby Sevens Series title just months out from the Olympics, the Aussie girls headed to Rio as clear favourites for gold.The pressure of expectation could have been an issue, but Caslick said the group learned to block out the white noise and focus only on themselves. In doing just that, the Aussies conceded a mere 34 points for the tournament and wowed a whole new audience with their entertaining attack play.Im not really surprised, I think we play an amazing style of rugby, Caslick said when asked about the groups new-found fame. If people didnt like watching it I dont know what theyre on about. I think the way we play is exciting and fast, and the calibre of players we have on our team; Im not surprised at all that people loved it.I think weve definitely won them over. The reception we got when we came home was just incredible, especially in the non-traditional rugby states of Australia. They all seemed to get behind us as well.Caslick capped an extraordinary 2016 when she was crowned the World Rugby Womens Sevens Player of the Year, the highest individual honour in the games shortened form. ?Its awesome, Caslick said. Its sometimes hard to get individual accolades, especially in a team sport, but its obviously a representation of how well the team performed this year.Without the girls out there I cant do my job properly. I definitely think its a representation of how we went [this season], and our style of footy we play allows me to play my best I guess.Caslicks response to the award was typical of her down-to-earth personality, but her work off the field certainly reflects her caring nature.Working alongside Australian mens Sevens player Jesse Parahai with his company Sense Rugby, the 21-year-old helps children with learning difficulties in providing an opportunity to experience team sports, something they may not otherwise get the chance to do. And she does it purely because she loves kids.Its an awesome group to work for, Caslick said. I love children and theyre kids who struggle to take instructions at a young age, so this gives them a chance to form their own teams or communities.Sometimes these kids can get left behind when it comes to team sports, but weve already seen some kids go back to play with their old teams.Despite a huge 2016 that involved the team winning almost every medal and award, Caslick was disappointing the Aussie side wasnt nominated for World Rugbys Team of the Year Award.It was a little bit disappointing [not getting nominated], considering we achieved the exact same goals of what Fiji had done, she said. But I guess, the position Fiji were in, to win their countrys first gold medal ever...Its disappointing, but were not there to win awards. Im sure the girls will go out next year and just keep playing footy and enjoying what we do. All of that stuff comes when youre just having fun and that breeds success.Back after a short break, Caslick has returned to training and is focused on the 2016/17 World Series, with the Australians kicking off their title defence in Dubai.Can 2016 be topped?We have to go back-to-back now, Caslick said.? The New Zealand womens team have won back-to-back World Series.So for us, this season, its all about character and backing up what weve done in the last season.? We definitely dont want to be one-hit-wonders, so we want to go out there and just keep our consistency up. Parry Nickerson Jersey .ca.

                                      LAS VEGAS -- Nevada lawmakers convene Monday to consider raising taxes in the Las Vegas area to help fund a $1. Cheap Kylie Fitts Jersey .9 billion football stadium, a $1.4 billion convention center expansion and more police officers to protect the additional tourists. Here are things to know about the deal.STADIUM COULD MAKE VEGAS A SPORTS TOWNLas Vegas has long been a pariah for professional sports leagues because of Nevadas legal sports betting. But the stigma appears to be fading after the National Hockey League announced this summer that it plans to place an expansion team there starting in the 2017-2018 season. NFL owners, who have previously erred on the conservative side of the gambling question, would have to vote by a three-fourths majority to allow the Raiders to move from Oakland to Las Vegas. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said he wants to try to keep the team in the Bay Area, while the teams owner, Mark Davis, said hes serious about moving the team to Las Vegas in time for the 2020 season. The stadium would also house UNLV football. The largely commuter school wants to elevate its reputation and play in a venue closer than its current home of Sam Boyd Stadium, which is seven miles from campus.IT WOULD RAISE TOURISTS HOTEL BILLSThe proposed deal would increase the hotel tax on the Las Vegas Strip by 0.88 percentage points for the stadium, and 0.5 percentage points for the convention center. Tourists are already paying a 12 percent hotel room tax, which funds tourism improvement projects, schools and other services. They would pay about $1.50 more per night on the average nightly Strip hotel bill if both proposals pass. Proponents are selling the project to lawmakers on the basis that the tax increase would hit tourists, not locals, and that the hotel tax has always been aimed at increasing tourism -- southern Nevadas most important industry. Two-thirds of each Republican-controlled house must approve any tax increase.DEAL FOR A BILLIONAIREBehind the deal is Las Vegas Sands casino owner and Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, whos worth about $32 billion and ranks as the 14th richest person in the U.S. on Forbes latest rankings. Opponents say he, of all people, can afford to fully finance the stadium on his own. Adelson is committing $650 million to the project, while asking for $750 million from hotel tax revenue to cover bonds and $500 million from the Raiders and the NFL. Proponents argue the two projects could bring 14,000 permanent jobs and make a $620 million annual economic impact, while opponents fear the projections are too optimistic and worry the deals structure could leave taxpayers holding the bag in case of another recession. They also say the publics share -- 39 percent of the estimated total cost -- is higher than in other projects, while stadium supporters say thats on par with the breakdown at recently built Dallas and Minneapolis stadiums.UNION VS. UNIONThe hospitality workers of Las Vegas powerful Culinary Union are opposed to the stadium deal, releasing a cartoon-style video ad with the rhyme they must think that we are dumb / to raise taxes for their stadium. They insist theyre opposed to the deal because they think any tax hike revenues should go to Nevadas bottom-ranking public schools instead of stadiums, and not because Adelson has resisted unionization efforts at his casinos. But theyre going against other labor supporters, including the Laborers Union, which is eager for the thousands of construction jobs the projects are expected to create. The group held tailgate parties outside meetings focused on vetting the deal.YOM KIPPUR RECESSNevadas 63 lawmakers are supposed to meet in a special session starting Monday morning. Theres no set end date; special sessions in 2014 and 2015 lasted two and four days, respectively. Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval said he consulted with a rabbi about the potential that the meetings will conflict with Yom Kippur, the most important holiday on the Jewish calendar, and plans a break in the action from sundown Tuesday to sundown Wednesday for the observance. Lawmakers are prohibited from fundraising from the day after the governor issues a formal proclamation calling the session -- likely Sunday -- until 15 days after it adjourns.

The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. USC receiver Steven Mitchell Jr. will miss the remainder of the season with a torn left ACL, coach Clay Helton announced Sunday.Mitchell, a redshirt junior, suffered the injury in the Trojans 48-14 win against Arizona on Saturday. It is the latest in a string of injury issues Mitchell has dealt with since arriving at USC. He sat out the 2013 season with a torn ACL in his left knee, battled a hernia early in his career, and missed the final two games last season due to an ankle injury.He ranks third on the team wwith 24 catches and fourth with 220 receiving yards. Cheap Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey. With Mitchell out, Deontay Burnett will start in the slot, Helton said.?Jalen Greene is also expected to see his role increase.

Injury fears for Queenslands Corey Oates have been allayed by Wayne Bennett. TreQuan Smith Stitched Jersey .But Maroons teammate Josh McGuire faces a nervous wait after being reported for a dangerous throw in Brisbanes 48-6 NRL loss to Melbourne at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.Oates was forced from the field in the first half with concussion after being injured in a tackle trying to stop the eight try rout.The incumbent Maroons winger took no further part in the game in a concern for Queensland selectors who name their State of Origin III team on Monday.But Bennett gave Oates the all clear for the Maroons.Hell be fine in the 12 days when they play again, he said.McGuires Origin III prospects are not so certain after being reported for his lifting tackle on Dale Finucane.It added further insult after Brisbane suffered a record home loss and sixth defeat in their last eight games.Former ladder leaders Brisbane could slide as low as seventh by the end of the round.Bennett claimed he could see improvement in the most unlikely of areas - Brisbanes defence.They have conceded 88 points in their last two games.Melbourne led 30-6 at halftime after notching five tries in 18 minutes.Winger Suliasi Vunivalu nabbed a hat-trick to seal Melbournes 10th win in 11 games against Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium and claim the ladders top spot.However, Bennett said he was happier than after last rounds 40-14 loss to Canterbury.I dont believe it was un-Bronco like, he said of their effort.I dont like the scoreboard but I thought we were better defensively than we were last week.We left Canterbury a lot less confident than we will (against Melbourne).Five of their tries came off kicks. There were no huge defensive errors.Halfback Cooper Cronk set up five tries as Melbourne exploited Oates injury to carve up Brisbanes left edge.There was not much we could do to stop it, Bennett said.Bennett dipped his hat to bench utility Kodi Nikorima who dislocated his shoulder early but remained on the field to fill holes in their reshuffled backline as the Storm launched raid after raid.I dont know what would have happened if he had not stayed on the field for us, Bennett said.Brisbane are already without Jordan Kahu, Jack Reed, Greg Eden and Tom Opacic.Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy backed Brisbane to return to their best.Sometimes it just aint your night, he said.They have too many good players and too good a culture at the club not to come back from this.

NEW YORK -- Northwestern came into the Legends Classic off a last-second loss to Butler.It didnt seem to bother the Wildcats as they beat No. 22 Texas 77-58 on Monday night.Im really proud of my guys tonight. We had a very tough loss Wednesday in Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler, Northwestern coach Chris Collins said. Teams can go two separate ways after a loss like that. You can go on a little bit of a tailspin or you can rally together and come out fighting. There was never a doubt in my mind that our guys were going to keep fighting. We came in confident, yet very respectful of Texas. We knew it was going to take a great effort to beat a team like that. I thought a lot of guys played well.Bryant McIntosh had 20 points and five assists in the convincing win that propelled the Wildcats (3-1) into a championship showdown against Notre Dame, which beat Colorado 89-81, on Tuesday night at Barclays Center.McIntosh turned the ball over that led to Butlers buzzer-beater.I thought right after the Butler game, I knew we wouldnt go into a tailspin just because we didnt feel sorry for ourselves, McIntosh said. We were upset that we lost a game that we thought we could win. Thats a difference with this team than on the other teams Ive been on since being here. If we lost a close game, we felt sorry for ourselves where this team were hungry. We think were good and I thought tonight we played exceptionally well.Northwestern opened the game with an 11-0 run and closed the first half on a 9-0 spurt to take a 34-26 lead.The Wildcats opened the second half on a 10-1 run to go up by 17 points and the Longhorns (3-1) were never closer than 14 points the rest of the way.Scottie Lindsey had 16 points and Dererk Pardon had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Northwestern which took advantage of an out-of-synch Texas offense for the easy win.We came in to win, Collins said. We have the utmost respect for Texas, just like we did at Butler the other night. I just think theres a mindset with these guys. I think we believe were good. I believe we can play with these teams, not only play with them but beat them.Tavin Maack scored 18 points for the Longhorns, who finished with 14 turnovers and just seven assists. Rick Leonard Stitched Jersey. Texas didnt help itself at the free throw line going 13 for 27.I thought Northwestern did a great job of starting the game with aggressiveness and got off to that big lead, Texas coach Shaka Smart said. Our guys responded really well and battled back and took the lead but obviously from there, Northwestern was just a much better team tonight.Northwestern, which shot 48.2 percent (27 for 56), led by as many as 20 points as nine of the 10 players who saw time scored.Texas, which came into the game averaging 82 points per game, shot 37.3 percent (19 for 51) and were outrebounded 40-31.I was a little bit concerned this morning because sometimes you can feel when guys get in the bright lights, you can tell theyre playing a little bit away from what really goes into it, Smart said. Its natural. I think we were a step off with a lot of things we know how to do.BIG PICTURE:Texas: The Longhorns allowed opponents to shoot 21.8 percent from 3-point range in their first three games. Northwestern was 10 of 24 (41.7 percent) from beyond the arc. ... Six Texas players were averaging double figures entering the game and only Mack reached that against the Wildcats.Northwestern: Vic Law came into the game shooting 76.8 percent (11 of 14) from 3-point range including eight in a row at one stretch. He went 1 for 2 Monday. ... Law was the Wildcats leading scorer at 20.3 points per game. He had just nine against Texas.BIRTHDAY WISH:McIntosh celebrated his birthday Sunday by heading to the famed Rucker Park with his godfather to shoot baskets.RARE MEETING:Northwestern leads the all-time series 2-1. The last time the teams met was in 1974, a 63-59 Texas victory. The first meeting was a 73-71 Northwestern victory in 1965.UP NEXT:Texas: will play Colorado for third place in the Legends Classic.Northwestern: will play Notre Dame in the championship game of the Legends Classic.

                                      J. Cheap Mike Hughes Jersey .T. Barrett wont ever get to play a Red River Rivalry game in the Cotton Bowl, so hell have to settle for the next best thing: a road game at Oklahoma.The Texas native rooted for the Longhorns when he was a kid. He wanted to be the quarterback Texas took in its 2013 recruiting class, and attended the 2011 OU-Texas game as a UT recruit. Ohio States road trip to Norman this week means a little bit more to Barrett than most Buckeyes.He had aspirations of being a Longhorn and that didnt come true, so this is probably the closest thing to playing that game, you know? said Jim Garfield, Barretts coach at S. H. Rider High School. Its huge for him.Garfield considers this almost a homecoming game for Barrett. He grew up in Wichita Falls, a city in North Texas located just 140 miles south of Norman. Barrett grew up around a lot of Sooners fans, but wanted to be the next Vince Young.J.T.s a unique individual. He holds his cards to his chest pretty good, Garfield said. But you could tell, growing up, he was a big Texas fan.In the spring of 2012, Texas coaches were debating between offering either Wichita Falls Barrett or Whitewrights Tyrone Swoopes. Garfield knew Texas assistant Darrell Wyatt, Barretts lead recruiter, was sold on Barrett and impressed by the leadership qualities that have now helped him go 17-2 as the Buckeyes starter.I think J.T. would be the first to admit that I think early in the recruiting process, had the University of Texas offered him, he probably would have committed to them, then-Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman told Cleveland.com in 2014. But they didnt.The Longhorns decided they had to take Swoopes, the small-town star with the big body (6-foot-5, 230 pounds), big arm and big potential. He was the one who evoked comparisons to Young. Five days after he received his offer in February 2012, Swoopes committed to Texas. And yet, Barrett still considered taking a junior day visit to Texas despite Swoopes pledge.What if Texas couldve had both? Would Barrett have agreed to join Swoopes in the class had he been offered? Garfield has no doubt.Oh yeah, he said. When wed talk about Ohio State, hed say, I dont care. They can bring King Kong in here. Im gonna go get the starting spot. Thats the kind of mentality J.T. had through the whole thing. If they wouldve double-offered him and Swoopes, he wouldve had the same thought: I dont care who it is, Im gonna go compete and take the starting spot.I think that wouldve been great, Swoopes said this week of the idea of playing with Barrett. I like J.T. a lot. Being able to play with him wouldve been fun.But Texas wasnt signing two quarterbacks. Barrett canceled his junior day trip five days after Swoopes pledge because he knew the offer wasnt coming.Fortunately, the new offensive coordinator at Ohio State was interested. Herman had been on the job for only a few months when he landed a commitment from Barrett in April 2012.Herman took a bit of a risk. He accepted a commitment before actually seeing Barrett throw in person. But he knew LSU was pushing Barrett hard for a pledge, and Herman didnt want to wait too long and lose the kid. Once he picked Ohio State, Barrett vowed he was completely done with recruiting. Garfield said he never got the sense Barrett was disappointed things didnt work out with Texas. But he never forgot it.He had quite a few offers, but I think the one from Texas that he didnt get, that kind of stoked his coals, so to speak, Garfield said.Even during the highest highs of his Ohio State career, that snub was still on Barretts mind. In the locker room after the Buckeyes national championship win over Oregon in January 2014, Barrett was asked if the Longhorns made a mistake by not offering him. Shoot, you can tell em that, he said. I dont need to tell em that. They saw the film. Talk to Mack Brown.Not that Barrett would change a thing. Everything has worked out for him in Columbus. Swoopes is doing OK these days, too, having found success in his 18-wheeler power run package. Texas seems to have finally found its long-term answer at QB in Shane Buechele.And Barrett still gets his shot at the Sooners.Being here at Ohio State, those are the type of games you play for -- big-time games against a great opponent at their place on the road, Barrett said Saturday. Its exciting. Thats why you go to Ohio State.When Barrett takes the field Saturday night, Garfield says a strong Wichita Falls contingent will be in the stands rooting him on. Garfield is now the head coach at Elgin (Texas) High but says he still talks to Barrett on a weekly basis. He knows facing Oklahoma was sort of a boyhood dream for his former quarterback.And Barrett knows, in the end, he picked the right school and the right rivalry.I can tell you one thing: Its not like Ohio State and That Team Up North, he said. Cheap Colby Gossett Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U. Cheap Brian ONeill Jersey . The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. http://www.cheapvikingsjerseyselite.com/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. If you are a genuine fan of Roger Federer, you should vigorously applaud his decision to bail on the rest of the 2016 tennis season.No, you wont see Federer in a few weeks time, feet falling along the baseline as softly as a cats, stalking the elusive singles gold medal in a farewell Olympic performance in Rio. Or later in August, flicking sweet forehands at the National Tennis Center in Flushing in the quest for his sixth US Open title.In his present, somewhat-less-than-his-best condition, you wouldnt have seen ultimate success anyway.But -- assuming a few months of rest and rehabilitation can bring his dodgy left knee back to a sound level -- the inconvenience of missing out on those late-summer visuals has a massive upside for the athlete who turns 35 in 13 days:It likely means a few more years of the less-than-vintage-but-still-stylish Federer we have come to know in recent years -- which isnt half-bad. In fact, its still better than good.Indeed, the mood at the Team8 offices in Pepper Pike, Ohio on Tuesday was upbeat.There is no gloom and doom in our camp, insisted Tony Godsick, Federers longtime agent. The decision was unfortunate, on the face, a bummer, but it was encouraging, too. It shows he still wants to get out there and give it a few more years.Since winning Wimbledon in 2012, the final major in his portfolio that includes a record 17-Grand Slam singles titles, Federer has been essentially rolling through an extended, elevated victory lap. He made the final at Wimbledon in 2014 and 2015 and a year ago at the US Open.Perhaps more telling, after reaching five ATP World Tour 1000 finals in 2014, winning two of them (Cincinnati and Shanghai), he made three master finals a year ago, winning only in Cincinnati.This year? Only 28 matches and zero major or masters finals.The season began typically enough. Federer got to the final in Brisbane and reached the semifinals at the Australian Open for the 12th time in 13 season. But in early February, he underwent surgery meniscus surgery, the first of his career. When he came back a few months later, he wasnt quite himself.Although a cranky back was blamed for his pullout in Madrid, the knee was always the major issue. He lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarters of Monte Carlo and to 22-year-old Dominic Thiem at the Italian Open before opting to skip the French Open, hiis first major miss since the 1999 US Open, ending a record of 65 consecutive Grand Slam appearances. Wholesale Vikings Jerseys. The return to his favorite surface was not encouraging; Federer lost again to Thiem on the grass in the Stuttgart semifinals and, a week later, to teenager Alexander Zverev in the semis of Halle, an event the Swiss had won eight times. In retrospect, it approaches amazing that earlier this month Federer reached the semifinals at Wimbledon before losing to Milos Raonic -- in five sets.Actually, Godsick said, he did quite well being where he would not like to be.In the end, I think he realized the competition, as tough as it is, you dont help yourself by playing less than your best. Now he can manage his schedule and take the steps necessary to get bigger, faster and stronger.Godsick would not offer details, but said that by creating a window of four months without competitive tennis -- instead of the usual one -- Federer was giving himself more than enough cushion to come back completely healthy to start 2017.So if the doctor says he needs a certain number of weeks, now he can afford to give it even more time, Godsick said. Everyone on this team is an optimist, and hes the chief optimist.More than anything, Federer seems to love being Federer. Deep in his mind, he has to know another Grand Slam title is increasingly unlikely. Still, he enjoys being in the hunt, maybe more importantly, in the conversation. Clearly, its fun, and there are still millions of more dollars to make. With four children, thats not a minor consideration.The love I have for tennis, the competition, tournaments and of course you, the fans remains intact, Federer wrote in a Facebook post. I am as motivated as ever and plan to put all my energy towards coming back strong, healthy and in shape to play attacking tennis in 2017.Not just tennis, attacking tennis. Federer is currently ranked No. 3 in the world behind Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Will the tennis world change appreciably when younger players like Raonic, Thiem, Zverev and Nick Kyrgios move past him? In a word, no.If the goal is to go and play as long as you can, Godsick said, its the right decision.Let the Federer flowing, fluid victory lap continue.
